Erica Jansen

(She/her/hers)
Assistant Professor
Nutritional Sciences
janerica@umich.edu

Biography

I am a nutritional epidemiologist with a primary focus on sleep and diet in relation to cardiometabolic health. I completed my doctoral and postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, with an additional postdoctoral fellowship at the Division of Sleep Medicine at Michigan Medicine.

Research

I have several lines of research, including the examination of: 1) how early nutritional environments affect childhood obesity and timing of puberty; 2) how various aspects of sleep- including duration, timing, and quality- affect development of cardiometabolic risk; 3) the bidirectional associations between sleep and diet; and 4) epigenetic markers or mediators that underlie relationships between sleep and cardiometabolic health
